Bagels Restaurants in New York, NY

“The best bagels hands down! This has become our "go to" stop each time we pass through NY for bagels. Great customer service. We can call ahead and they have the order ready for our multiple (and large) family order with everything perfect! Super helpful and also help with bringing the many bags out to the car! So much appreciation! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see you again!“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Delicious, great value for money bagels. I got the cream cheese and lox bagel and my friend got an olive cream cheese bagel. The bagel itself had a great texture and was not over filled. It was cut up nicely which made it convenient to eat on the go. Highly recommended“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“My first visit to NY. Heard good things about this place as it was ideally located next to our hotel. Food was fresh, service excellent and made to feel very welcome by the staff. It was a truly NY experience. Kind regards to the staff from your friends from London.“

“It was my first time there but certainly will not be my last. The cashiers knew we weren't from there but super super nice. I had THE BEST quiche I have EVER had. I joked that they sprinkled crack or something on it because I wanted to buy the WHOLE pie . It was beyond fluffy and delicious. It was mushroom, caramelized onion and cheese. I also has a side of bacon and home fries plus a hazelnut latte. It was less than $30 and beyond filling. I took 1/2 home because it was so much food. I didn't think to take a pic before I started eating, so no, that's not the whole quiche lol. Customer service was top tier and considering that NYC has a reputation for rude people (not true...mostly), this place makes you feel special!“

“Yes please to all of it! We love this place.“

“Absolutely the best! The bagels were so delicious and all the cream cheese were delicious. We went to the ones in Queens NYC The staff were great , Freedie was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!“

“I finally checked out PopUp Bagels, and the hype is totally justified. You absolutely have to get here early—like, when they’re still pulling those hot, fresh bagels out of the oven and tossing them into the bin! Nothing beats that feeling (or smell!) to kick off a New York morning.

I grabbed the three-pack with scallion cream cheese. All the bagels were great, but the Salt Bagel was the runaway winner for me. That perfect salty crunch outside with the hot, chewy inside…Unbelievably delicious !

Grab your hot bagel and a cup of coffee and you are all set. It's the ideal start to any day in the city! 🥯☕️“

“My brother and I needed something quick to eat for a late breakfast, so this was right by us. Read the reviews here and I agree: Excellent food, decent prices and quality service. Kept it simple with a sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Coffee was good too!

There’s not a whole lot of dining room space, so you’ll either have to take it to go or get lucky to find an empty table.“

“One of the top bagel spots in NYC, and the Presto Pesto bagel is actually one of my favorite bagels ever!! 🥯

Incredible bagel quality, crispy outside with generous seasoning, good chewiness, stuffed with egg, turkey sausage, avocado, arugula, pesto, and sun dried tomato cream cheese.

Everything here is outstanding, could not recommend more highly!“

“Amazing bagels and spreads! Sam’s the black and white cookies! We had v one and then made a second trip back to get the more!“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“Fresh bagels, hand rolled and made onsite. Can’t beat the selection. I thought it would be a tourist trap due to its location, but it beat every other shop we tried.“

“I mean, the obvious 5 star review. Don't let them scare you off the belly - much saltier, true (don't add capers), but you can really taste the salmon for what it is that way. Lots of nice, decently priced gifts to take home, easy ordering system, they move relatively quickly. Chocolate babka is killer.“

“We visited B&B on 2nd ave bagels from Arizona and we wanted a quick bagel sandwich. Let me tell you these bagels were amazing! The employees were so friendly, my son dropped his sandwich outside and they even offered to replace it (he was almost done).“

“the food is delicious, the service and efficiency is on point! For NYC these prices are very affordable!“

“Was visiting NYC and we found this place by accident, so happy we did! The staff were very nice and professional. The food was delicious, and the bagels were massive! The shop was clean and had a nice seating area. Would definitely visit again!“

“I was visiting and asked someone on the street where I could grab a bagel and they directed me to Bagel Bob’s. So thankful they did. Best bagels, incredible people, generous friendly caring family people. They greeted me warmly every day, remembered what we talked about the day before, asked about my day and seemed genuinely interested. This was my first solo trip and they made me feel right at home. And a beautiful plant showed up on my last day which was lovely. I’ll definitely be staying in this neighborhood the next time I’m visiting but daily breakfast here just isn’t enough. I’m about to get a bagel sandwich to take to the airport with me with the homemade black and white they generously gave me on the house. Top notch place food and people. You won’t regret the trip here.“

“The most delicious bagel I have ever eaten! Cream cheese with pistachios and raisins. Thank you!“

“AWwsome Begel ,great place .. we are out of town or‘s and we were looking for a authentic bagel place and you hit the mark it was amazing when we get back here we will check you out again the staff was wonderful very friendly and helpful our bellies were happy😁“

“Apollo’s Lox Bagels are incredibly delicious and definitely among the best bagels in NYC. The hype is truly justified.

The bagel rolls are delicately toasted, and the salmon and cream cheese combination is perfect. A real treat!

Luckily, the shop in the East Village isn't as crowded as the location north of Washington Square Park. We didn't even have to wait 10 minutes on a Friday at 3 p.m., which is practically a world record in NYC. The team is quick and appropriately friendly.

Since there's hardly any seating, it's best to take your bagels to go and eat them in the chilled Tomkins Square Park.

Highly recommended!“

“I wish I was a New Yorker just so I could eat here every week! SO worth the hype! The line moves so quickly, the staff is so sweet & the BAGELS are melt in your mouth delicious. In our 5 day NY trip we ate here twice 🙂‍↕️ Leons is a MUST on your foodie list & deserves a 100/10 !!“

“Classic neighborhood staple. Been having the ham and egg since I was a kid. The two man team behind the counter can make you a sandwich in about 2-3 mins so if you’re running late for the F train you can still get a solid (and cheap) breakfast. The ice coffee is pretty good for deli coffee as well (ask for 1/2 sugar with vanilla!)“

“Number 1 in my own personal world since 1994!!! The best and they never disappoint!!“

“A very positive experience. We had breakfast here several times while our stay in New York. They have a wide selection of bagels and fillings. The service is fast and friendly. You can take it to go or eat it right there. A great way to start the day.“

“the best of everything!! I so love 5his place! i'ts just what king needed!!🥰“

“LOVE...LOVE...this place..the people are AMAZING !!Smiles all around.. They always welcome me with open arms.. The BEST DAMN TEAM I HAVE EVER SEEN..They work together very well...I SEE THEM EVERY DAY WORKING THERE BUTTS OFF....The line is always out the door....BUT They move very fast!!!!
Guys I love you from the bottom of my BELLY ...LOL....AND HEART...“

“Incredible place with a great attention. You may have to wait a little to order your bagel but once you’re inside it’s quick. The food is amazing, I ordered the BLT bagel and it was really really good. I recommend ordering the orange juice, one of the best.“

“Bagel Belly serves perfectly chewy, fresh, and full of flavor bagels city can offer. The store is always clean, and the vibe is welcoming. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a must. Highly recommend!“

“Broadway Bagel is good for a lot of things but it's better to tell you what its not good for because it's smaller. their pastrami, very chewy & fatty. I got a wrap & was horrible because I was fighting with the pastrami to bite off a piece & then getting fat in your mouth is disgusting. At times when I get a breakfast sandwich with bacon it's like that's when they choose to hide fatty bacon instead of giving you well cooked bacon. How does an establishment do that to their customers? The tuna wrap w/ French fries, I usually order but now they're adding lettuce when before it was onions & avocado now they're putting celery & adding lettuce. why did they mess with such a great sandwich? Certain staff I work with like their blueberry pancakes, homefries, BLT. But like I said too many times I bought a BLT & it was filled with a lot of fatty bacon. I look at my food before I eat it. They used to have different flavors of OJ, Mango/Pineapple, Strawberry/Banana/Orange, but now all they have is regular OJ. They're changing how they made stuff and they changed the working crew so all I can say is I mostly get breakfast. It's hit & Miss for a lot of things because I like my food the way anyone having a business should make the food for their customers; with love & as best as possible.“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Essa is my new go to when it comes to sending a taste of New York as a thank you. All 3 of my orders arrived quickly, were fresh as can be and got rave reviews from Oklahoma, California and Kansas. The flavored cream cheese in particular was mentioned as amazing. Thank you Essa Bagel and thanks also to Goldbelly for spreading good food and good cheer!“

“10/10 — Black Seed Bagels was exactly the fuel I needed to survive (and thrive) through a night in Times Square.The bagel? Flawless. The vibe? Immaculate.

If you’re planning to conquer the city that never sleeps, make sure you carb-load at Black Seed first. Your future self will thank you.

🧡🤣“

“My onion bagel with lox and light scallion cream cheese was delicious and very filling. The girl at the register was awesome and the honey-vanilla-hazelnut latte she suggested was 10/10. Just a few spots for sitting but there’s a pleasant little fountain and garden area nearby with benches that you can rest at.“

“Tried Street Bites NYC today during my lunch break and it was so good! The meat was incredibly flavorful and tasted really fresh, super tender and perfectly seasoned. The bowl was packed with flavor and the sauces tied everything together really well.

The service was amazing too! The man working there was extremely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area. I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“Great place, delicious food but standing in line with the sun beating down on you is unbearable and also I wanted juice but the sun was also beating down on the fruit and veggies no thank you.“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“First experience of New York bagels on the first morning of our holiday. Menu was a bit confusing for the inexperienced but the food was great and authentic along with the atmosphere. Lucky to get a table in the window to soak in the sights and sounds on the most incredible city.“

“I ordered a bronx bomer and I was not disappointed. It was well cooked and filled with so much flavor. The chicken was very crispy and all the ingredients worked together. The staff there is helpful and efficient. I would definitely recommend.“

“ベーグルサンド専門店“

“awesome bagels, yummy bagels!“

“I stop by Bagel Express pretty often, and it’s just a solid neighborhood spot. The place is clean and modern, and the staff are always nice without trying too hard. Their hot sandwiches hit the spot every time — simple, fresh, and made right.“

“Delicious rainbow bagel with butter. Coffee was terrible; had a weird taste.“

“We had a great experience at The Regular while in town for the marathon. The food was amazing and I can’t say enough about the friendly staff, they were all attentive and a big shout out to the barista in the front…she greeted everyone with a smile and was so pleasant going above and beyond to make everyone that walked in the door feel like so welcomed.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Morning Experience Every Time!

I visit this establishment every morning at 6:01 AM on the dot, and I’m consistently greeted with warmth and friendliness — even at that early hour. The staff here truly set the tone for the day. Their professionalism, efficiency, and positive attitude are unmatched.

A special mention to the woman who works the counter on Thursdays — Inez (forgive me if I’ve misspelled the name). She is always welcoming, attentive, and ensures every customer leaves with a smile. It’s rare to find a team that blends great service, great food, and genuine kindness so effortlessly.

Highly recommend this spot — it’s the perfect way to start your day!“
